Adam Lallana admitted Albion fell away in the second half as they lost to Leicester.
The former Liverpool man scored his first goal for the club as they impressed in the first half.
But Leicester stepped up in the second period to win 2-1.
Lallana appeared to question Albion's mentality after going ahead.
He told Sky Sports: “Second half we were poor. It almost felt like we'd won the game at half-time. If you drop your levels you get punished.
"There have been games we've felt hard done by but today doesn't feel like that. We didn't perform well enough in the second half.
"We've proven we can get results against big teams. We all dropped off a couple of percent. We were too passive and we got punished.”
Lallana linked up with Neal Maupay for the tenth-minute opener.
"It's always nice to go one up at home. We had a couple more chances. But you can't rest on your laurels.
"I don't remember them creating too much. The poor keeper at the end just got caught under the ball but he's been tremendous for us. He'll learn and he'll bounce back."
